Error description

  • When compiling a generic binding similar to the example below,
    the compiler is incorrectly interpreting the binding as
    ambiguous.
    
    
       ===== EXAMPLE CODE =====
    
    type my_type
    contains
      procedure, pass(val) :: my_sub_1
      procedure, pass(val) :: my_sub_2
      generic :: intr => my_sub_1, my_sub_2
    end type
    
    
       ===== ERROR MESSAGE =====
    
    1514-714 (S) Procedures my_sub_2 and my_sub_1 must not appear in
    the same generic interface.  The dummy argument that
    disambiguates the procedures by argument keyword appears earlier
    in the argument list than the dummy argument that disambiguates
    by position.
    

Local fix

  • Removing the PASS object dummy arguments and converting into a
    generic interface block does not consider the interface
    ambiguous, and does not encounter the error message.
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When checking generic bindings for ambiguity, if the bindings
    contains a pair of PASS specific bindings where one specific
    binding:
    
    1. Contains fewer non-optional dummy arguments than the other
    specific binding, and
    2. The passed object dummy argument in this binding occurs
    earlier in the argument list than the PASS object dummy
    argument in the other specific binding.
    
    XL Fortran incorrectly interprets the generic binding as
    ambiguous.
    
    This problem does not affect generic bindings involving NOPASS
    specific bindings.  It also does not affect generic interface
    blocks.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    User of XL Fortran using generic bindings involving passed
    object dummy arguments.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem has been fixed.
